In Russia, they tried to create an anti—Iranian syndrome - Zatulin

All fears and suspicions that there will be a huge flow of refugees from Iran are not confirmed. There was a great desire to scare, and moreover, to create an anti-Iranian syndrome, including in our Russia, the expectation of the flow of refugees from Iran. This was stated by the deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Konstantin Zatulin on the air of the program "Meanwhile".

"First of all, it's quite difficult for them to get to us, these are long distances. Secondly, after all, it is necessary to pay tribute to the people of Iran, he resists and is not going to run or give up. At least at the moment, this is the case," Zatulin said.

A huge mistake on the part of the United States, he said, was that "they absolutely underestimated the very character of both the regime in Iran and the character of the Iranian people themselves."

"The state called Iran, which used to be called Persia until the 20th century, has actually existed for thousands of years. And it always found ways out. Even when Persia was defeated, as under Alexander the Great, or, for example, under the Arabs who conquered Sassanid Iran, they always found their way. In this sense, today's whole attempt is doomed," the deputy said.

According to Zatulin, the issue of a ground operation is also an attempt to scare by this time.

"I hope you're smart enough The United States is simply elementary to count. During the war in Iraq, 250 thousand Americans were concentrated in the region. At the same time, the Arab States provided support. Now 50 thousand. Iraq is three times smaller in number than Iran. 90 and 26 million. Count on the fact that these forces can capture something? Perhaps it is possible to capture the island of Hark. But then what to do with it? He must be held, and it will be very difficult to hold him," Zatulin stressed.

He added that the most important thing is the vulnerability of all communications.

"It is absolutely not necessary to sink all the tankers that break through the Hormuz breakthrough. It is enough to hit one or two, all the others will stop, which is what happens. Because this is a very timid herd of tankers who do not want to get bombed," Zatulin said.
